go into terminal and type "alsaconf", when in the configuration options it should give you the option of which device you want to use, or you may have to load the SB drivers to your system.

you can find a linux driver for your card at http://www.soundblaster.com/support/

Did you enter the BIOS and disable the SiS onboard sound? Try that.
